IRS Protecting ADL

• Jewish “charity” has violated tax laws for 40 years without repercussion.

By Ronald L. Ray —

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is a Jewish “charitable” organization founded by B’nai B’rith and one of the leading purveyors of vitriolic hatespeech and bigotry against traditional moral values. While excoriating Americans’ nationalism, the ADL defendsIsrael’s racist, genocidal policies and activities. It also appears to violate the terms of its 501(c)(3)tax-exempt status on a regular basis—and has done so for over 40 years—while the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) turns a blind eye.

According to the IRS website: “Under the InternalRevenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly orindirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in oppositionto) any candidate for elective public office. . . . [P]ublic statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or inopposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity.”

Violation can result in revocation of the tax-exempt status, but that law seemingly does not apply to the ADL. Although the IRS targets patrioticand socially conservative organizations, the ADL and other Zionist organizations long have gotten a free pass.

For at least 44 years, the ADL has been openly criticizing candidates for public office it deems hostile to Jews or Israel, and praising those itdeems supporters—both of which activities are clearly forbidden.

In the 1972 U.S. presidential campaign, the ADLattacked the Socialist Workers Party and its candidate, Linda Jenness, for alleged “anti-Semitism,”because of the SWP’s “opposition to Zionism and the state of Israel.”

In a 2002 example reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Pennsylvania state chapter of the ADL interfered in the Cherry Hill, New Jersey mayoral race onbehalf of a Jewish candidate, who had been denounced by his opponent for campaign behaviorthe latter alleged was similar to that of WWII “Nazi generals . . . who swore they knew nothing of atrocities being committed against Jews.”

In October 2007, the ADL demanded that then-presidential candidate Mike Huckabee stop calling the annihilation of tens of millions of unbornchildren by abortion a holocaust. The ADL’s Abe Foxman claimed, “Such analogies can only trivialize” the alleged WWII Jewish genocide.

In July 2015, presidential candidate Huckabee raised the ADL’s ire again. The ADL’s press release stated, “ADL Sharply Criticizes Huckabee CommentSuggesting Obama is ‘Leading Israel to the Door of the Oven’ ” through his nuclear deal with Iran.

In November 2015, the ADL criticized Donald Trump as “irresponsible—not to mention factually challenged” for suggesting Arabs in New Jerseyrejoiced at the fall of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Apparently, this was too close for comfort tothe truth of the “dancing Israelis,” the video of which the ADL called a “myth.”

Also in November, the Jewish hate group deplored Trump’s call for a database of Muslims in the U.S., and claimed it was “scapegoating Syrianrefugees” for candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to desire only Christian refugees be taken in, and for Carson to call the Syrian refugees “rabid dogs.”

While the ADL defended Trump for controversial remarks to rich Jewish Republicans in December, it alleged that other statements Trumpmade about Mexicans and Muslims “not only used stereotypes but exhibited hostility.”

On February 25, 2016, the ADL again meddled inTrump’s campaign, stating that he “may have distanced himself from white supremacists, but hemust do so unequivocally,” referring to support he received from David Duke and other white nationalists.

The ADL’s Greenblatt blasted Trump: “It isobscene to even mention a Jewish organization in the same breath as these white supremacistgroups. Mr. Trump needs to acknowledge that the rhetoric of these hate groups is appalling and does not belong in any political discussion.”

In response to AFP questions about the ADL’s nefarious activities, an IRS media spokesman replied, “Federal law prohibits the IRS from commenting on specific organizations and entities.”

It is time to demand accountability from the IRS for decades of shielding hate groups like the Anti-Defamation League. If they want to meddle in politics, let them pay taxes like the rest of us.
